It depends on your State Boards. I applied July 31st with the Secretary of State office AND Pearson Vue, got my fingerprinting done the 5th, and am still waiting for my ATT (Authorization to Test). My school sent out my transcript the 18th of this m...

Basing it off of CLINICAL experience, these are the top meds I've seen on a typical med/surg floor. 1. Digoxin 2. Lasix 3. Vancomycin (so much c. diff it's not even funny) 4. Lisinopril 5. Phenergan 6. Morphine Sulfate ...

I'm about to begin my 3rd semester of a BSN program, and so far I have noticed the school is a lot more strict regarding tattoos/piercings than the actual hospital. I only have 3 tattoos, but 2 are very visible. One in red on the inside of my forea...

"Phoenix rising from the asses" :lol2: Awesome story. Thank you for writing this. I will be in your shoes just a short month away...AH!

thanks so much for your honest opinion. I just don't have time to study the hours that some people have listed. I'm going to try and implement something along your lines and see how I do the first test-go round. If I don't do well, then I'll have ...

I am reading through all your study suggestion posts and I just cannot BELIEVE how much you guys get to study!! I just began a BSN program, and I am stressed out already. We don't have much due until mid-February, but I'm already stressing about the...

Yes! Congrats!!!!

School started on the 8th, so I'd give it one more week or so if you're on the standby list. After that, I don't think there'll be a big chance of very many people dropping out. We don't have any exams/quizzes until middle-Feb so people can't go by...

Hi everyone! I am due to start a nursing bsn program in January. I'm new to the school and don't know anyone who will be in the starting classes with me. I have high (probably too optimistic) hopes of making some good friends if not study buddies. ...

Hey guys, good luck with Spring 2009. They asked me the same question TJ wrote about regarding difficulty with a patient/customer. Also they asked: 1. Why have you chosen nursing, what lead to here? 2. What experience do you have in the medical fi...

Orientation is December 15th, and we have to have CPR certifications and all health records in by then. Also I just registered for Spring classes yesterday.

Hey there- I just got into KSU for Spring 2009 as a traditional student. I am in a situation almost identical to yours, except I have one young child (13 months). I took only one class a semester last year when he was born, then upped it to part-...

I have to submit my agreement/confirmation by Sept. 30th. I'm on campus today so I'll be bringing it in to Fran after class. Keep in mind though, that people drop out after they submit their agreements too. As for requesting different campus stand...

I got accepted into the traditional..I don't hold a bachelors in anything else, just lots and lots of credit hours lol. I was going to attend GPC if KSU didn't accept me, but it would have been a much longer drive and an AN program despite having ju...

Oh, I'm sorry you got standby:( The amount of people they accept for accelerated program is like 2/3 less than traditional, and I'm not sure if the same amount or less people apply. I hope some people go elsewhere so you can grab a slot!!!

Oh Man.......It came in a THIN REGULAR envelope. When I saw it I was SO upset because usually good news comes in THICK Large ones. But as soon as I opened it up and saw "Congralutions!" my eyes blurred and I started screaming and dancing lol. I AM...

I got my letter today and.... I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :chuckle I am thinking of you guys and I hope all of us are in the nursing class together in January!!!!!!!!

I just called one of the secretaries and the letters are only being mailed out TODAY!!!! UGH! I have been waiting by the mailbox alllll week, lol. :banghead::banghead:

How'd it go?!? I forgot to mention I e-mailed Fran and this time she said they're accepting 95/150 students. That's not bad eh? And wait for it...they will be mailing letters out the 9th and 10th! YAY!

Brooke I'm sending good luck dust your way!!!!! :) You will do great. I hope all of us on this site are going to be in the program together (I don't think there are more than 3 or 4 applying for spring, at least the ones that post). May I ask you...

I have taken RSCH & PHED both online within the last year and a half. Both classes are super easy to knock out. RSCH I don't think matters who you take because all you do is learn what you, for the most part, already know. Basics of using Micr...

Ugh. I'm so glad that it is over. I think my interview went really well, but you can never tell with them. Some of the questions I expected and a few just stumped me, but I managed to come up with an answer regardless. kpxqtx619 have you had yours...

Thank you so much for your review of the program!! I admit I too am frightened by some of the things I have read, but in reality every nursing program will be tough and not all instructors will be organized and polite. I will be attending GPC's pro...

I have an interview a week from tomorrow. I am SO nervous and excited at the same time. I am ready to go through it and start the program already!!!! Fran said that they are interviewing 80 students and accepting 40 into regular 20 into accelerate...

4nsicnurse2b- Sorry, butting in here, but I just wanted to let you know I took Pallavee Ganu online for micro lecture and she was awesome. She gives study guides before each test so you know exactly what is on them if you take the time to study the ...
